Make sure you're running at least PHP version 4.2.0 and add this to your config file:

$cfg['OBGZip'] = FALSE

oh, the version of php does make a difference?? i just check and i noticed tat my server is still using php 4.0.6. already emailed them to ask them to upgrade.

is the version of php causing the phpMyAdmin not working??

There is a bug with versions before 4.2.0 and users using Internet Explorer where phpMyAdmin would just show blank pages or pages full of strange characters. Not sure if that's the cause of your problem but since its a reported bug it would be nice if you could upgrade.
